Classic portrait faces on modern bodies by Dorothee Golz
12 Jun‘the pearl earring’ by dorothee golz diasec, c-print, 188 x 140 cm
“Vienna-based artist Dorothee Golz has created a digitally painted series in which classic portraits have been reimagined as well-recognized drawn faces visualized on modern bodies. Golz’s portfolio of hybrid pieces are born from her interest in historical artworks, social structure and the conception of gender roles both the renaissance era and today. The artist repurposes elements from the original work, stripping away the intention of the painter while infusing her own modern conception of the figures pictured.
First, the Golz begins by selecting an antiquated painting possessing a photorealistic quality in the vision of the sitter’s face. she then develops a studio setting in which to picture the modern body and renaissance face in a manner which may seamlessly combine both elements in a single still. Through the use of strategic lighting and particular positioning of the body of the sitter, the artist is able to re-envision the original artwork as a modern photographic representation. finally, the artist places the painted sitter’s head upon the digital image picturing the figure of a person from today in post production. In this way, Golz frees the painted renaissance persons from their stiff posture and conservative dress so that their facial expressions may be more recognizable to a contemporary audience”.

Meat balloons by ODL
3 Jun
“At the japan premium beef storefront, chicago-based design studio ODL (object design league) have created a meat-themed installation of their ‘balloon factory’, with balloons that take the form of sausages and steak cuts. The installation was curated by sight unseen as part of the NoHo design district during new york design week.
The ODL team creates their own balloon formers, which are primed with soap before being dipped into latex. The thin coat of rubber that adheres to the surface becomes the actual balloon. while it is still wet, latex colours can be mixed or the balloon can be hand-painted to achieve various visual effects. once dry the rubber is leached and vulcanized to be strengthened for inflating. in all, each balloon takes about three hours to produce.
The meat balloons at japan premium beef are shaped like sausages and different cuts of steak: porterhouse, flank, filet mignon, and T-bone. all use an initial clear latex, dripped with red, pink, and brown. steven haulenbeek, caroline linder, Michael Savona, and lisa smith of ODL left some pieces on butcher trays in the store window, while others they inflated, tied with twine, and twisted together to hang.
ODL explains: ‘this iteration extends the original ‘balloon factory’ project and carries a strong reference to the intricate fake food prevalent in restaurant windows in japan.’ A limited edition run of 40 meat balloons are available for sale at the ODL web shop“.

Cut-and-paste religious rewritings by Meg Hitchcock-steger
3 Jun‘the satanic verses: ‘repentance’ from the koran’ by meg hitchcock, 2012
letters cut from ‘the satanic verses’ by salman rushdie
21″ x 19
Brooklyn, new york artist meg hitchcock weaves together spiritual traditions by cutting away from religious texts letter by letter, then placing these characters by hand in a swirling combination of characters creating the words of other holy books. hitchcock was raised as a fundamentalist christian and now does not identify with religious learnings. Through her work, the artist celebrates all religions and the human need for transcendence– to reach outside of oneself for a connectedness with ‘the other’. through her works hitchcock feels she honors this timeless urge in humanity by uniting various faith systems through art, raising both religions by making art from their only actualized form. the artist says of her work, ‘I incorporate and ‘cross-pollinate’ the sacred writings of all spiritual traditions, suggesting that all religions derive from the same source, and are sustained in the same unwavering faith.’
‘In ‘the satanic verses: ‘repentance’ from the koran cut from ‘the satanic verses’ by salman rushdie’, I recreated a chapter from the koran called ‘repentance’ by cutting letters from ‘the satanic verses’, the novel by salman rushdie. by reconfiguring the letters of this controversial novel into a passage from the koran, I seek to bring restitution to the original offense. it is not my place to speculate whether mr. rushdie regrets or seeks repentance for producing his novel; my intention with this text drawing is to address the issue of religious intolerance and extremism under which he and others have greatly suffered’. -hitchcock speaks to ‘the satanic verses’

Fabulous Depictions of Tyrants, Dictators and Popes by Scott Scheidly
21 Maypope john paul II
kim jong-il from ‘portraits: a series of ‘fabulous’ depictions of tyrants, dictators and popes’ by scott scheidly
all images courtesy spoke art
Artist scott scheidly of florida, USA, had developed portraits for four notorious or influential public figures of the 20th century with an emphasis on their more feminine sides. adolf hitler, kim Jong-il, joseph stalin and pope john paul II have all been re-imagined by scheidly as particularly fond of shades of pink and purple as well as accessories such as dangling earrings, jewel uniform detailing and leopard print scarves complimented by hearts, flowers and unicorns. The series is the artist’s painted interpretation of the remembered masculinity of these powerful men as he instead substitutes their typical attire with objects, symbols and colors typically attributed to womanliness. In this way, as the viewer observes the individual’s likeliness, though the gallery goer may be recall the horrible achievements of these men, the common portrayal of their seemingly infallible masculinity is undercut by juxtaposition of lightened shades dressing these influential and sometimes dangerous men.

Electronic Sundays
1 May
“For almost 20 years, Goa has been the best monthly Sunday party in Madrid.
An outstanding selective international music programme and excessive attention to every last detail has been the secret to becoming a classic and a reference.
The last rebranding and visual work was done in collaboration with Bartholot, who shot models in his recognizable style, defining the different themes of each party: Naked, Apochalypse, Celebrities, Super Goa, Like a Virgin and Madriz”

Lasercut Nori for Designer Sushi
27 Apr
Developed by international ad agency I&S BBDO for the umino seaweed shop, ‘design nori’ is a series of intricately laser-cut seaweed for rolling sushi. Each sheet of five designs– ‘sakura’ (‘cherry blossoms’), ‘mizutama’ (‘water drops’), ‘asanoha’ (‘hemp’), ‘kikkou’ (‘turtle shell’), and ‘kumikkou’ (‘tortoise shell’)– is based on an element of japanese history or symbology, meant to bring beauty, good fortune, growth, happiness, and longevity.
Because of the precision required in the cutting process, the seaweed itself is a thicker variety from the sanriku region of miyagi. umino plans to use the leftover clippings to sell as furikake topping or recompile into other sheets.
The project was commissioned to respark the sale of nori following the tsunami in japan of 2011, at a time when umino director hiroyuki umino notes that japanese are eating less seaweed than in the past.
‘Design nori’ s on exhibition through may 27th, 2012, at ‘katagami style’ of 19th century japanese stencil artwork, at the mitsubishi ichigokan museum in tokyo. the pieces themselves are available for sale only through the retail location
in ibaraki prefacture and at the exhibition, currently for the price of 840 yen (approx. 10 USD) each. in the future, umino hopes to produce the nori on a larger scale and at lower cost.
